Possuns Guido The Snake.

From the LUmpkfn tGd.) Independent.
While fish and snake stories are on the
boom the succulent possum must not be
neglected John Collins says that during
the moonlight nights Of last week he was
on the war path for possum that in about
an hour the dogs treed in a persimmon tree
in the edge of the woods, and while he could
see through the small tree he could find moth
ing that looked like postum. He thought he
saw large dead limb hanging in the tree
and thought he would shake the tree any
how. IL being but "A small one ON shaking
IL strongly out tunbled six OF the wOolly
lacks, one large one and five small ones
He says each one had his tail wrapped
around anOthers neck, ana the old one had
her tail wound round limb, aud that they

In the House.

In the House to-day the bill of Mr. McLen-
don, of Thomas, to appropriate 81 600 for the
Branch College at Townsville, was amend
ed so as to appropriate $500 instead of
$4,000.
Mr.. Harrell, of Webster, proposed to
amend the bill by appropriating the same
amount to each county in the State for
school purposes
Mr.. Ham, of Hall, raised the point that
Mr.. Harrelrs amendment was not german
to the bill The point was sustained
; Mr.. Bray, of Fulton, argued IN favor of
the bill. He said the college at Townsville
was not local All the children in the State
have equal privileges in attending it, The
property belonged to the State and it was
her duty to keep it in good condition. 1t was
the policy Of the State to sustain a higher
order of education. IL was not wise TO es-
tablish branch college in each county, but
ii was proper to have them in each section
It is duty we owe the children of the State
to keep up these colleges
Mr.. FeatherstOne, of Floyd, opposed the
bill as an unwise measure. He saw no rea-
son why Thomasville should have prefer
enoe over other schools of the State which
have an equal grade.
Mr.. HaTTell, of Webster argued against
the bill. He was in favor of education that
would be equal TO all counties II was I'M
st to appropriate money to Townsville
and deny IL TO other counties or the State
Mr.. Jones, Of Baker, moved to amend the
bill by striking out $500 and inserting
$500 This was ruled out of order. The
bill was laid on the table by a vote of 20
yeas TO AZ nays.

Literary and Musicale at santa
Monica.

There was a most charming episode
during the past week at the Arcadia ho-
tel, at Santa Monica, under the auspices
of Mrs. Isaac Reyna and Mrs. Col.
Drum, the performers being Miss
Nora Connell and Miss Francis Edger-
ton. The latter lady has achieved
deserved success upon the Pacific
Coast as a reader and impersonator
and her exhibition of the highest
order of elocution and dramatic art
ON the evening of Tuesday last re-
ceived the plaudits of her large and
appreciative auditory. She exhibited
a very rare power in the Interpretation
of the emotional. With resonant
and powerful voice and a winning
presence, and naturalness of action
and exquisite Interpretation of hei
text, she succeeded, as is her wont, in
producing profound impression.
She revealed herself the true and
most accomplished artist.
| 1t is a source of regret that her com.
PEELED and hasty departure for San
Francisco prevented her numerous ad.
mirers at Los Angeles from witnessing
her dramatic recitals that have re-
ceived such deserved enconiums from
the press and leading literary person
ages. We hope that at some future
period the lady may be induced tc
extend us professional visit. We
have no hesitation in assuring her, in
advance, a most cordial welcome.

necessary. Our citizens are complain
ing in every direction for the want of
sprinkling. Nothing is more con-
ducive to the health and well-being Of
our city than street sprinkling, and we
favor the sprinEli-,s '..s at least twice a
aay (morning and afternoon) of all
the principal leading thoroughfares
into the city, especially those streets
which have been sprinkled heretofore.
We therefore recommend that the
Chairman of the Board of Health be
authorized to have such streets
sprinkled as may seem necessary.
While the resolutions were under
discussion it was developed that
numerous complaints about sprinkling
had, been handed to the Mayor, who,
having the interests Of the city at
heart, had come to the conclusion to
devote very valuable portion OF his
time to seeing that the city is properly
sprinkled and the dust kept down, so
that the visitors will not be disgusted
with the city. There was at first
some feeling that some of the un-
graded streets should be left
unsprinkled in order that
the owners OF the property will hurry
the grading. This opinion, however,
did not last long, when Mayor Work
man, who knew in just what position
the city was placed by the arbitrary
order Of the Council a week previous
stated his opinions on the subject.
The only one who did not appear to
have the interests of the public at
heart was Mr.. Lowell, who refused to
vote in favor of the resolution, even
after it had been amended. His OBJ
lection seemed to be based on the
supposition that Mayor Workman was
not working for the interests OF the
city, but for himself. Fortunately
this absurd opinion did not exist in
the brighter minds of Mr.. Lovell's
confreres, and the resolution, as
amended, was adopted by vote OF
three to one. The matter will come
up before the Council on Monday,
when it is hoped that it will be de-
cided to have the city as well
sprinkled as it was before, notwith-
standing Mr.. Lovell's unreasonable
spite against the Mayor.
The Board adjourned after transact
| ing some minor business.

he was away. She told me that Elam
frequently tied his COW where it could

they were prepared to rest their case
save as to the testimony of DR.. Sieber,

The defense asked permission to
call two witnesses who were at a dis
| tance and are desirous of going home.
4. w. Reed, rancher and Justice OF
ne Peace, was called and testified as
follows: Met Mr.. Bodkin about year
ago. | am school teacher in my dis
trict. He applied to me for school |.
We gave him one. Subsequent y
he was granted a vacation. He SAID
that he wanted to remove his family
from Orange.
| f. 2. Norwood was then called: |
am farmer. Know J. j. Bodkin
have known him about year. He
endeayored to rent house from me
for his family about a year ago. He
said that he wanted to get his family
away, because he was afraid that his
wife would go crazy. That men
we're throwing stones at heI
house at night when he
was away.
The defense next called Joseph Fer.
guson: Am an engineer. Know J.
J. Bodkin; have known him since

l was clerking in store. Mr.. Bodkin
then taught school there. Bodkin

quietness. have called at Mr.. Bod
kin's house at Orange. Staid there
nine days. Bodkin was there, too.
Bodkin asked me to go and stop with
him. l got there about sun-down, and
after dark two shots were fired.

show the state of affairs existing last
